  Ask yourself, were you feeling lucky when you bought them?  Was your day going great up to the time you bought them?
  
  Consider, would the ticket before and after been a winner?
  
  Buying a single ticket is a slender sub-sampling method.   Better to buy three $10 tickets . . .

  I did feel compelled to buy them. That's interesting. I was just at a grocery store and a guy in front of me bought like 10 of the same $1 scratch-off's and 10 of another $1 scratch-off.

  LMAO at the promotion that boasts."170,000 $200 Cash prizes!" That's only almost 7 times your bet at $30 a bet! They should have added  another 0 to make it $2,000 cash prizes to make it really a boastful promotion. ;)

  "What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

   

  At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬
